First of all, I downloaded/installed SP2 through the website you suggested. I still cannot Search after rebooting.

Second, in HijackTHis under Config > Misc Tools > Hosts file manager I have nothing. It says "Hosts file is located at: C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc\hosts (0 lines, A)" Then there are no lines listed.

Hi Pieter,

I read the two links you listed below, which did sound similar to my problem. I have done all possible resolutions listed in these links (mostly per your previous suggestions). I also copy&pasted the three lines you listed below. Each one confirmed that it was successful. And, I rebooted after all that.

Unfortunately, my search still does not work and gives the same error. Any further suggestions?

When I put in the IP address, it does the same thing as when I type in the address. It searches for like 1 second and then stops and leaves a blank/white internet explorer screen, and the bottom status bar says "Done".
